Happiness,
Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others including Love.
One
day it was announced to all of the feelings that the
island
was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
So
all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.
She
wanted to preserve the island until the last possible moment.
When
the island was almost totally under,
Love
decided it was time to leave.
She
began looking for someone to ask for help.
Just
then Richness was passing by in a grand boat.
Love
asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness
answered, "I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and
there would be no room for you."
Then
Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.
Love
cried out, "Vanity, help me please."
I
can't help you", Vanity said,
"You
are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next,
Love saw Sadness passing by.
Love
said, "Sadness, please let me go with you."
Sadness
answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."
Then,
Love saw Happiness. Love cried out,
"Happiness,
please take me with you."
But
Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him.
Love
began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say,
"Come
Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder.
Love
felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When
they arrived on land the elder went on his way.
Love
realized how much she owed the elder.
Love
then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"
"It
was Time", Knowledge answered. "But why did Time help me when no one
else would?", Love asked.
Knowledge
smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered,
"Because
only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."
